Springbok loose forward Nizaam Carr continues in his role as captain, which he performed superbly against Eastern Province.

The Vodacom Bulls will start with the same 15 players, who will be keep to add to their impressive form of last weekend when they crushed the Elephants by 87-10 in Pretoria.

White has opted to shuffle the bench, with Nolan Pienaar, Bernard van der Linde, Clinton Swart, Henco Beukes, Willie Potgieter and Richard Kriel all set to add a powerful blow to the opposition later in the match.

"The boys did well last week and the coaching management were impressed in how they kept to the plan, even when the game opened up," said White.

"It could have become a free-for-all once we got legroom on the scoreboard but we want to simulate in-competition scenarios to help us better prepare for upcoming competitions and I must commend Nizaam and his leadership group for keeping the players focused on the objectives and outcomes we wanted to achieve.

"This week will be no different and although the starting team hasn't changed much, there's a ton of new faces on the bench that want their boots on the field and to put their names forward.

"The last time we travelled to Nelspruit with a rather young and inexperienced team, we lost badly to a powerful and well-oiled Pumas bunch. I’m looking forward to seeing how this group has developed since then. We're excited to get to Nelspruit and play our brand of rugby."

The match kicks off at 19h00 and will be televised live on SuperSport.
